Even if Costco doesn't have the best pricing, I like that it exists so that there's competition and keeps prices lower for consumers.

Costco Travel car rentals can pair competitive pricing with a $25 Shop Card, especially when the reservation is already close to the best direct rate. The booking flow is flexible, with no money up front, easy cancel and rebook options, and the price shown matching the final total. Some rentals have beaten direct and Priceline or Alamo quotes by a meaningful margin, and the Shop Card has arrived by email in about two weeks. The main catches are that qualifying vehicle classes matter, some dates only show larger cars, and the promotion can nudge prices higher or fail to beat direct booking after taxes and fees.
Costco Travel pricing can come in lower than booking directly with major rental companies for the same trip dates.
The $25 Costco Shop Card can make the all-in rental cost cheaper than comparable options when vehicle class matches.
Rebooking after price drops can capture additional savings when Costco Travel and the rental company allow cancellation and rebooking.
Directly contacting the rental company can unlock free upgrades when the originally requested size is unavailable.
Booking through Costco Travel can reduce checkout friction by showing the price upfront and enabling app-based pickup without a desk stop.
Costco Travel can restrict availability to full-size or larger vehicles for certain dates, which can raise the effective rental price.
Shop Card delivery can be delayed after the rental return, including reports of radio silence for about two weeks.
The promotion can increase prices compared with earlier tracked rates, reducing the value of the $25 Shop Card.
Cancel-and-rebook attempts can fail to improve the deal when the rental price increases after cancellation.

This is isn't even funny— this is pure deception by these companies.
There's a reason why legislation is being passed in some states for "All-in" pricing models. It's to prevent deceptive "drip pricing" practices such as these.
Call this out every time so that consumers get in motion toward real price transparency.
